Sergio Aguero has announced his retirement from football at the age of 33 due to a heart condition.
The Barcelona striker announced the news at a press conference at the Nou Camp on Wednesday morning, where he addressed the media alongside club president Joan Laporta.
Aguero experienced chest pains and breathing problems during the first half of Barcelona’s 1-1 home draw with Alaves on October 30.
He fell to the turf holding his chest and was treated for several minutes before being led out of the pitch and taken to hospital.
The Argentina football maestro was subsequently diagnosed with a cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat).
